I Take Fright
I take fright
for the world is hollow
and I have touched the sky
I take fright
because there is life
and life seems doomed
to eternally ask, why?
I take fright
at my innocent blindness
that I do not know
what hides in plain sight
above everything on earth
seen only in the night
I take fright
in the terror of space
and it’s beautiful secrets
I take fright
for not knowing
and remaining unknown
I take fright
and with it
I can, cast aside my ignorance
I can, give myself a chance to know
-( This poem takes inspiration from and includes lines/titles/quotes from Star Trek and commentary on epitemology by Pascal, live long and prosper)
